FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Show Off and Tell" published May 1, 2016 - Eileen: This is an actual Trilobite fossil! It's approximately 507 millions years old! Marcus: My mother met a mystery writer on an airplane and he signed a book for her. He spelled her name wrong, though. Jason: Behold! A perfect grade on last week's math test! Teacher: I'm going to stop letting you sign up for show-and-tell, Jason. You just keep doing the same thing over and over. Jason: That's not true! I've shown a different test every time!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Totally Calm" published May 18, 2014 - Andy: You know, maybe if you studied for exams instead of printing posters, you wouldn't need to worry about Eileen getting better grades than you. Jason: Who's worried?! I'm not worried! I'm calm! Totally calm! AAAA! THE PRINTER'S OUT OF INK!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Good Muse, Bad Muse" published March 2, 2014 - Girl: All I'm saying is he makes a pretty compelling argument...Before he switched into our study hall, you were getting a B- in English. Now you're getting a B+. You were getting a C in math...now you're getting a B. And your A-/B- in biology is now up to a straight A. at least be open to the POSSIBILITY that he might be right. Paige: MORTON GOLDTHWAIT IS NOT MY MUSE! Morton: Good news! The drama club had a toga in my size!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Parthenotquite" published January 5, 2014 - Eileen: See? It's right here on Wikipedia. The Parthenon's columns are doric, not ionic. A good first effort, though! Marcus: I really can't believe you made this bet with her. Jason: I had an A+++++ average in math! I thought it was a sure thing!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Finals Simulator" published May 19, 2013 - Andy: Shouldn't you be studying?? It's finals week! Peter: Mom, relax. Jason's upstairs working on my simulator as we speak. Andy: Your what? Peter: I'm paying him to write me a computer app that will simulate taking the final exam in each one of my classes. It should be pretty sweet. He's using the 3-D engine from "Haloshock Tournament". Astronauts train with simulators, soldiers train with simulators, even some doctors now train with simulators...I figure it's gotta be an effective learning tool, right? Andy: Peter, your first two tests are tomorrow! Peter: Jason says if you'll waive his bedtime tonight he can deliver a working beta by 4:30 a.m. that'll give me a solid three hours for training. You're cool with that, right? I mean, my semester grades are at stake. Make sure the simulator accounts for my eardrums being destroyed. Jason: Was that mom screaming? She's getting louder, have you noticed?

FoxTrot comic strip by Bill Amend - "B-Positive" published September 16, 2012 - Peter: Sir, about my grade on the physics test... Teacher: A "B" as I recall. Peter: Yeah, see, the thing is I was really hoping to start this school year off on a positive note. Teacher: A "B" isn't a bad grade. Peter: Yeah, but it's not a POSITIVE grade, you know? It's just kinda neutral. Teacher: I'd call it a positive grade. Peter: But you yourself told us the symbol for positive is a plus sign. Hint hint hint... Teacher: Ah. Well, let's see what I can do... Peter: AAAA! A "D+" isn't a positive grade! Teacher: You're really confusing me here, Peter.
